So my bosses at work have been tirelessly trying to convince me to stay on as a herbicide sprayer. I told them that I would research roundup this weekend and get back to them with my final answer. Out of 30 studies that I found on one scientific database only 3 showed negligible effects. The rest showed toxic and otherwise harmful effects to reproduction (i.e. possible sterility), transcription and the cell cycle as well as possible cancerous effects. Its effects on animals in the environment seems quite serious ... aquatic or otherwise, grown or developing.
Scary.
So I will not be doing this much longer. One more week and they said they could have a replacement. They offered me a $2/hr raise but it's not worth it.
